Abstract

Summary

We present a novel way to compute the traveltime differentials to update a TI model to an orthorhombic model. We compute linearized tomographic updates to update the residual moveout around the tilted symmetry axis. We demonstrate the method by showing the accuracy of our traveltime differentials using a synthetic example.
